a valentine to the variety;

[vendettaisforv]

Roses are red, violets are blue;
   Think of the things you've yet to do.
The lily is pale, the ivy is green;
   Think of the things than you haven't seen.
The crocus is purple, the clover is peach;
   Think of the things you've yet to teach.
The jasmine is white, the marigold, amber;
   Think of the things one must remember:
Roses are red, violets are

...oh! But what's this for??

Oh, a guess at a day which is, odds are, some time away---I doubt date matters, with the different times.

Although, if pressed, I'll say it's for the flowers.

I still don't quite understand why a date matters, but okay :D

In my world, verse was commonly sent to and fro on a Valentine's Day, which occurred once a year. It celebrated, primarily, the relationships of lovers, but it was not entirely unheard of that friends should also send gifts or greetings.

I see! That sounds sweet <3

I'd say so. Perhaps the practice can catch here, although determining the proper date would prove difficult.
